It wasn’t a massive deal—our expected assignment fee was $10,000—but when you’re growing a business, every opportunity matters.Everything seemed to be moving smoothly until the title search revealed a major roadblock: the mortgage discharge couldn’t be cleared because the person who needed to sign off was deceased.

Insurance would cover it, I would pay the deductible, and no assets would be lost.If you are in an area like San Diego where people are more likely to sue, a judge is more likely to find you guilty, and the payout is expected to be higher, you may consider an umbrella insurance policy.

Here are key adjustments:Kitchen ($50k): Likely $60k-$70k for custom cabinetry, quartz, and premium appliances.Bathrooms ($40k): Expect closer to $50k-$60k for four bathrooms with high-end finishes.Flooring ($20k): Likely $25k-$30k for engineered hardwood, refinishing, and tile.Exterior ($12k): More realistically $15k-$18k with landscaping and a quality front door.Misc.

What are you expecting from this post? 

I miss not having a feature request or roadmap presented so we know what we can expect in the future.Here is a list of our main issues:1) Maintenance.

Cash flow in the triangle takes creativity, just want to set that expectation with you.

What are tenants expecting in terms of updates?  

The price should reflect the current performance, not the seller’s expectations for the future.Seller financing is a big plus.

There will always be posters who come out of the woodwork who claim to be able to beat terms or meet borrowing expectations.
